I wanna assign side buttons of the mouse as shortcut

PostMon Oct 03, 2022 2:31 pm

Hello there!

I wanna assign side buttons of the mouse as shortcut.

The mouse buttons such as left mouse, right mouse, middle mouse.

But there are two more side buttons mostly which are identified as mouse 4 and mouse 5 in other software.

I wanna side buttons mouse 4 and mouse 5 can be identified and used for shortcut in Keyboard Customization panel.

Actually I consider if the title bar of DaVinci Resolve can change color into dark theme by following windows dark theme, it will be better of course! It won't be detected if I full screen window for now.

Master Yoda said the way this is, and he is looking forward these two small functions can be added in next version. This is the way, the way to save Anakin MagmaWalker form the darkside of the force.

You guys are the real heroes! May the force be with you!

At last

Mouse buttons are controlled by the System software. I have those buttons mapped in the MacOS preferences. On Windows you may need a mouse utility app to provide the functions you need.

If you're on Windows, try X-Mouse Button Control. It will let you program anything to any button on your mouse. There would of course need to be an applicable keystroke combo in Resolve.

That seems to be a different topic Jim.

The essential request in the link is to be able to customize mouse shortcuts.

+1 vote here!

(AND ALL menu items should be mappable to keys or mouse or stream deck... on any tab.) :D
Thank you!
